Brighten My Page

Brighten my page
When ever I sit  and do my writing 
Reading it back can be a little frightening 
It’s all very dark depressing and low 
I wish from my pen light land happiness could flow 
I beg of my pen unlock this cage
Allow me please to brighten my page 
It never permits to set me free
Won’t soften it’s lines or release me
My internal pain is all I can show 
True feelings inside all dark with no glow 
Every verse must  reflect my soul
So over the page my pen does scroll
It writes of my madness
And my lonely sadness 
So until I can pull my self free and clear 
From these long shadows that I constantly fear 
My pen will keep me trussed and tied
All access to the brightness For me denied
